Description

Facebook Social Plugin Widgets is a lightweight plugin that add three widgets to your WordPress arsenal: a Facebook Like Box, the Facebook Recommendations widget, and the Activity Feed. This means you won’t have to go to the social plugin page anymore.

The plugin loads XFBML versions of each of the social plugins, and includes the facebook all.js in the footer of your site.

Where’s the options page?

There isn’t one. This plugin only adds widgets to WordPress.

What about loading these things as iFrames?

There is not currently support for this. If you’d like this feature to be added in future versions, get in touch.

What sorts of things can I put in the “border color” inputs?

Border color can be a color name (like “red” or “blue”) or a hex color code (like #CCCCCC).

Why don’t my widgets work in Internet Explorer?

IE does a funny thing. It requires the <head> tag to have a special attribute: xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml". FBSPW adds this via a filter on language attributes. You must have this in your theme’s header.php file to make this work:

<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
